In these deliberate studies of principalities and powers, 3 00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:19.690 we will be exposing the occult, revealing knowledge of the doctrines, words, 4 00:00:19.700 --> 00:00:23.730 rites, eulogies, phrases, and definitions that demon worshippers use. 5 00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:28.130 The only intelligent way to interpret our times is to present a biblical 6 00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:32.670 interpretation. Jesus prophesied that his church shall prevail. 7 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.810 In Matthew 16, verse 18, he said, 8 00:00:36.010 --> 00:00:38.600 Upon this rock I will build my church, 9 00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:41.900 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 10 00:00:42.130 --> 00:00:46.780 Today the church must rise up to the greatest action of its entire history. 11 00:00:52.330 --> 00:00:58.120 I certainly appreciate the privilege of teaching such a wonderful class 12 00:00:58.130 --> 00:01:03.220 made up of so many friends from various 13 00:01:03.230 --> 00:01:08.760 denominational groups, and yet we learn the truth of God together. 14 00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:13.610 And because it is the Word of God and how beautiful it is to study His Word 15 00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:17.060 together, we have been studying in this particular lesson, 16 00:01:17.070 --> 00:01:22.000 principalities and powers, that we might know what's going on in the world that we 17 00:01:22.010 --> 00:01:25.520 live in today and its proper significance. 18 00:01:25.970 --> 00:01:30.720 And especially I'd like to say that in the relationship of hypnosis because it is 19 00:01:30.730 --> 00:01:36.500 being so generally used in our society until many people use it without thinking. 20 00:01:36.650 --> 00:01:40.980 that there could be something detrimental to your spiritual person about it. 21 00:01:41.490 --> 00:01:45.780 And I'd like to say about it before I even get into the lesson, 22 00:01:45.810 --> 00:01:48.220 that since I was a child, 23 00:01:48.390 --> 00:01:53.950 I have so loved my mind that I would not permit 24 00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:57.830 anybody in any way whatsoever to have any control over it. 25 00:01:58.370 --> 00:02:01.580 That my mind is that which I seek God with. 26 00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:03.060 It's precious to me. 27 00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:10.160 Even for $1 ,000 or even $10 ,000, I'd never permit a hypnotist to take over my 28 00:02:10.170 --> 00:02:12.220 mind to put his thoughts through it. 29 00:02:12.550 --> 00:02:16.600 That it's so precious to me that I wouldn't permit anyone to violate it. 30 00:02:16.830 --> 00:02:21.740 And that anytime you have an empty place, the devil will fill it. 31 00:02:21.890 --> 00:02:25.420 Whether you empty your mind or any other part of you, he'll fill up all emptiness. 32 00:02:25.530 --> 00:02:28.520 And we want our minds to be alert in God. 33 00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:32.620 And so this lesson on hypnosis is a very important one. 34 00:02:32.650 --> 00:02:37.270 May I bless you. I believe you, Lord, to open our hearts, open our spirits, 35 00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:42.430 open our minds that we might understand the truth of God and that we might walk in 36 00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:46.150 that truth. And we thank you for it. And all the people said, 37 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.490 in Isaiah 26 and 3, it says, Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace whose 38 00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:53.530 mind 39 00:02:54.310 --> 00:02:59.140 is stayed on thee. Whose mind is stayed on thee. 40 00:02:59.470 --> 00:03:03.760 God shows us what we should do with our minds. 41 00:03:04.050 --> 00:03:09.040 Now we're right, we're living in a moment today when hypnosis is riding a high tide 42 00:03:09.050 --> 00:03:10.620 of popularity in this country. 43 00:03:10.870 --> 00:03:16.080 It is being used in a multiplicity of forms for entertainment 44 00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:19.360 and for medicine and for other uses. 45 00:03:20.140 --> 00:03:24.010 And immediately we must say, well, what is this thing called hypnosis? 46 00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:30.750 Mary Lange, in a magazine article that I read a few days 47 00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:33.930 ago that was nationally syndicated, 48 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:38.810 said, there's just one thing certain regarding hypnosis. 49 00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:43.690 Nobody knows what it is or why it works. 50 00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:50.030 Now, that frightened me for an expert in the field to write that nobody knows what 51 00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:54.210 it is or why it works. I'm not a guinea pig, you know, 52 00:03:54.220 --> 00:03:58.570 and my soul's not a guinea pig, and my brain's not a guinea pig, 53 00:03:58.580 --> 00:04:01.940 and if they don't know what it is or why it works, I just don't want any of it. 54 00:04:01.950 --> 00:04:06.900 That takes care of that real quick. Even if it was good, I wouldn't want any of it. 55 00:04:06.910 --> 00:04:08.500 Let somebody else be the guinea pig. 56 00:04:08.830 --> 00:04:13.300 I have a very unusual way about me. 57 00:04:13.390 --> 00:04:15.760 If a new car comes out, I don't want the first one. 58 00:04:16.290 --> 00:04:19.680 You have the first one. I'll take the hundred and second one. 59 00:04:20.070 --> 00:04:23.420 After they've got all the knots and kinks and bolts out of it and got it working 60 00:04:23.430 --> 00:04:24.560 right, then I'll get one. 61 00:04:24.670 --> 00:04:28.240 But I've always said I don't want to be first and neither do I want to be last. 62 00:04:28.250 --> 00:04:29.820 I'll just be in there between. 63 00:04:30.490 --> 00:04:36.240 Well, there you go. Some say that hypnosis is an altered state of 64 00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:41.620 mind, and some say that hypnosis is the function 65 00:04:41.630 --> 00:04:46.700 of the subconscious mind carrying on life 66 00:04:46.710 --> 00:04:52.010 and giving out information in the subconscious area 67 00:04:52.020 --> 00:04:54.990 rather than in your conscious mind. 68 00:04:55.290 --> 00:04:58.860 Hypnosis has been called a scientific tool. 69 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.650 capable of penetrating the deepest crevices of the mind. 70 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:07.830 I'd like to leave out the word scientific and say that there possibly is something 71 00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:13.790 there that could penetrate the crevices of one's mind where no human is supposed 72 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:14.800 to be. 73 00:05:15.200 --> 00:05:21.090 It is a potent sedative that can so relax you until there 74 00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:22.850 comes a state of unconsciousness. 75 00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:27.420 And it is something of an aesthetic nature, 76 00:05:27.510 --> 00:05:32.900 like the doctor uses it to put you to sleep, They use the mind to do this. 77 00:05:33.050 --> 00:05:38.160 Someone has called it a backdoor entrance into the mind. 78 00:05:38.170 --> 00:05:42.620 That hypnosis is the backdoor into the human mind. 79 00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:46.810 Now, it was only in 1958, such a short time ago, 80 00:05:46.940 --> 00:05:52.410 that the American Medical Association in the United States here accepted 81 00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:54.950 hypnosis as a therapeutic technique. 82 00:06:01.110 --> 00:06:04.920 physicians using hypnosis in their practices. 83 00:06:05.270 --> 00:06:11.210 No doubt it is being used seeking relief from many ills 84 00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:13.910 and various ills and many things. 85 00:06:14.140 --> 00:06:17.970 Sometimes the use of a thing can be innocent and the effects of it can be the 86 00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:22.990 opposite from that. However, the Medical Association also warned, 87 00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:28.590 that's the American Medical Association, warned that it should be used with caution. 88 00:06:28.890 --> 00:06:31.540 Now, That's where I always stop. 89 00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:35.190 When they put up a caution sign on the highway, 90 00:06:35.200 --> 00:06:36.730 I always start looking for something. 91 00:06:38.020 --> 00:06:40.190 And they've already raised a sign here, 92 00:06:40.200 --> 00:06:42.810 and it was the American Medical Association, 93 00:06:42.820 --> 00:06:47.490 the highest group that we have in this country, judging your health, 94 00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:49.950 said, use it with caution, 95 00:06:49.960 --> 00:06:54.750 lest it also produce very detrimental effects. 96 00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:59.590 Well, you know, you judge a man out of his own mouth. 97 00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:02.930 And so the medical, not what a preacher said, 98 00:07:02.940 --> 00:07:07.350 but the American Medical Association said, take caution with this thing. 99 00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:11.050 And they said that there could be detrimental effects. 100 00:07:11.100 --> 00:07:12.530 Now, that's not a preacher talking. 101 00:07:12.540 --> 00:07:16.730 See, that's the head of the doctor society in this country. 102 00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:22.250 And so the medical association admits there is a possibility of 103 00:07:22.260 --> 00:07:26.510 detrimental effects in the use of this thing called hypnosis. 104 00:07:26.650 --> 00:07:29.420 Now, to me, that would be enough warning for me to leave it alone, 105 00:07:29.430 --> 00:07:30.780 but there are others that won't do it. 106 00:07:31.010 --> 00:07:36.860 Now, historically, hypnosis has had its roots deep in mysticism and in 107 00:07:36.870 --> 00:07:40.720 sorcery. It didn't begin in our Wednesday night prayer meeting. 108 00:07:41.190 --> 00:07:46.220 It began with its roots deep in mysticism and sorcery. 109 00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:50.720 The source of it did not come from praising and magnifying God. 110 00:07:56.090 --> 00:07:59.300 a magic wand, this thing called hypnosis. 111 00:07:59.510 --> 00:08:05.400 Nor is it an instant panacea, an instant healing formula from all 112 00:08:05.410 --> 00:08:11.320 worries and fears and poor memories or any other objectionable thing that 113 00:08:11.330 --> 00:08:15.570 hurts our personalities. Now, hypnotism, as I told you, 114 00:08:15.580 --> 00:08:17.730 being called the back door into the human mind, 115 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:23.170 why in the world would any of us want to go into the back door of the mind when the 116 00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:24.890 front door is wide open? 117 00:08:25.990 --> 00:08:30.300 And the front door is when you walk in through the Word of God and obey the Word of 118 00:08:30.310 --> 00:08:33.520 God, learn the Word of God, memorize the Word of God, 119 00:08:33.530 --> 00:08:36.140 and put the Word of God to effect in our lives. 120 00:08:36.150 --> 00:08:40.360 That's the front door. I want to stay away from back doors. 121 00:08:40.630 --> 00:08:46.000 The Lord Jesus exhorted that we should love the Lord thy God with all 122 00:08:46.010 --> 00:08:49.780 thy mind. Thy mind. 123 00:08:49.890 --> 00:08:55.620 He is more powerful than any hypnotist, more authoritative. 124 00:08:55.800 --> 00:08:59.110 than any physician. And so we should obey Him. 125 00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:03.330 God's Word says, and I'll be repeating it at least twice tonight, 126 00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:09.270 in Philippians 4 and 8, that think on those things that are true and honest and 127 00:09:09.280 --> 00:09:13.910 pure and lovely. And then He says, think on those things. 128 00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:17.930 And so there are certain things that we should lend our mind to, 129 00:09:17.940 --> 00:09:22.090 and there are certain things we should not lend our minds to. 130 00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:27.610 And hypnosis is one of the things we should never permit ourselves to be fallen 131 00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:32.680 into. Now, how is hypnotism being used in our country today? 132 00:09:33.750 --> 00:09:38.620 The news media is giving hypnotism a great expression. 133 00:09:38.630 --> 00:09:43.140 Almost all the newspapers and magazines are telling you what the benefits of 134 00:09:43.150 --> 00:09:48.320 hypnotism are. Also, there's great advertisement in newspapers, 135 00:09:48.510 --> 00:09:51.520 magazines, and many other parts of the media, 136 00:09:51.530 --> 00:09:54.300 as I'll be telling you a little more about here, 137 00:09:54.530 --> 00:09:57.680 advertising What hypnotism can do for you? 138 00:09:58.310 --> 00:10:02.320 The pediatrician asked to hypnotize a mother to have her baby. 139 00:10:02.450 --> 00:10:06.720 And I've talked to some nurses that said they've really had some messes in the 140 00:10:06.730 --> 00:10:11.060 hospital when the thing broke in the middle of the delivery or it wasn't strong 141 00:10:11.070 --> 00:10:14.080 enough and some problems that they had. 142 00:10:14.090 --> 00:10:16.900 Maybe there are nurses present that could tell us more about that. 143 00:10:17.290 --> 00:10:22.380 The dentist will ask you if he can hypnotize you for your dentistry. 144 00:10:22.770 --> 00:10:26.870 And I had one dentist that... asked if he could hypnotize me. 145 00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:31.650 And I was in the chair. I took a little rag that he put around my neck and took it 146 00:10:31.660 --> 00:10:33.010 off and handed it back to him. 147 00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:36.890 And I said, you or no other devil has power to hypnotize me. 148 00:10:36.900 --> 00:10:41.390 I am beyond that. And I walked out of his dentist's office and I never went back. 149 00:10:41.400 --> 00:10:46.510 I didn't want to have any dealings with anybody because he told me that over half 150 00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:52.450 of his clients in this city permitted him to hypnotize them in order to work on 151 00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:53.460 their teeth. 152 00:10:54.030 --> 00:10:58.460 Some dieticians claim that they can help you to lose weight by hypnotizing. 153 00:10:58.530 --> 00:11:01.400 That means you can eat all you want and hypnotize it off. 154 00:11:02.610 --> 00:11:04.380 I don't think it'll work. 155 00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:11.570 Hypnosis has been used in court trials seeking truth. 156 00:11:12.620 --> 00:11:17.610 A psychotherapist seeks to remove fear by hypnosis. 157 00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:21.870 A hypnosis has been used to stop smoking and drinking. 158 00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:27.590 Every large city phone book lists hypnotists to help the troubled American. 159 00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:29.690 if he's got enough money to pay for it. 160 00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:33.310 It has catchy phrases and bright advertisements saying, 161 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.150 come over and get hypnotized. 162 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:40.410 The devil is out to capture the human mind, the American mind, 163 00:11:40.420 --> 00:11:42.750 and to control the human personality. 164 00:11:43.800 --> 00:11:47.350 What does it feel like to be hypnotized? How many have been hypnotized? 165 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.360 I see your hand. 166 00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:52.310 Very, very few. What does it feel like to be hypnotized? 167 00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:56.770 Dr. Sandra Steg, Mims, Ph .D., says, 168 00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:58.910 Hypnosis is a very pleasant experience, 169 00:11:58.920 --> 00:12:02.650 and the subject wants to continue it, 170 00:12:02.740 --> 00:12:05.450 so he allows it to work on him. 171 00:12:05.540 --> 00:12:09.690 It feels so good that the subject, you're only a subject when you're under it, 172 00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:10.610 you're not a person. 173 00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:13.990 The subject wants to prolong the feeling, 174 00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:20.230 and so it is an artificial buildup of pleasantries that could 175 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.290 come to you through the Lord Jesus and through right living, Christian living. 176 00:12:24.430 --> 00:12:27.980 And when you come to Christ, the Bible says in Romans 14, 17, 177 00:12:28.010 --> 00:12:31.820 that the very kingdom of God that's within you is peace and joy, 178 00:12:31.830 --> 00:12:34.080 and hypnotism can't give you either one of them. 179 00:12:34.090 --> 00:12:38.020 It's God's peace and God's joy that gives you fulfilling on the inside, 180 00:12:38.030 --> 00:12:43.600 and you don't need anything of this nature to come in and say, listen, 181 00:12:43.610 --> 00:12:47.200 I would like to bring to you the peace and the joy and the tranquility. 182 00:12:47.210 --> 00:12:51.280 We already have it. We have it from the time we were born again. 183 00:12:51.470 --> 00:12:56.950 What happens to the mind? and also to the body during a state of hypnotism. 184 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.810 The body becomes immobile. 185 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.510 Sometimes it reacts to the hypnotist in certain movements. 186 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:07.330 The mind goes into neutral, and the willpower resistance is broken down, 187 00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:13.230 and the human, under hypnosis, is supposed to divulge information as the mind 188 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:17.490 understands it, as their subconscious mind understands it. 189 00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:20.830 And they feel like they get more information at that time than they do. 190 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:25.910 And in that state of mind, They say that the nervous system does not react with pain 191 00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:28.590 and so forth, and they can do certain things to them, 192 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:30.790 including operations and tooth pulling and so forth. 193 00:13:31.590 --> 00:13:36.180 Your next question would be, can anybody, any person, be hypnotized? 194 00:13:36.190 --> 00:13:37.190 No. 195 00:13:38.180 --> 00:13:44.010 They know that there are many people who will not be hypnotized because they will 196 00:13:44.020 --> 00:13:47.790 not submit their will to the mind of the hypnotist. 197 00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:51.610 And so anyone of a strong will and a strong nature, 198 00:13:51.640 --> 00:13:54.310 they find it very difficult to hypnotize them. 199 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.550 Because they don't know how to yield their will to them. 200 00:13:56.560 --> 00:13:59.690 They don't know how to succumb to them. They don't know how to get into neutral. 201 00:13:59.740 --> 00:14:03.390 They've been in high for so long, they can't drop back into neutral. 202 00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:05.350 And so they find them difficult. 203 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.370 So all people cannot be hypnotized, no matter who tries it. 204 00:14:08.760 --> 00:14:12.590 Can hypnotism become a habit like alcohol or nicotine? 205 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:18.310 The doctors say yes. That if you receive relief from stress or from 206 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.110 fear or from oppression, 207 00:14:20.810 --> 00:14:26.220 and when the hurt returns, You have a craving within you for the same remedy as 208 00:14:26.230 --> 00:14:27.940 before, which is hypnotism. 209 00:14:28.170 --> 00:14:30.940 And then they can teach you, they say, 210 00:14:31.300 --> 00:14:36.810 to hypnotize yourself so that you in your own home can leave the world of reality 211 00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:41.790 and go into one of unreality. Now, I am very much against that. 212 00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:44.890 I say if you have a problem, work it out. 213 00:14:45.530 --> 00:14:49.040 There's no need of being an ostrich, sticking your head in the sand and say, 214 00:14:49.050 --> 00:14:52.130 go away, go away, When you pull your head back up, 215 00:14:52.140 --> 00:14:53.870 it's going to be right there facing you. 216 00:14:54.270 --> 00:14:58.420 And you can go into a hypnotic state all that you want to, and you get back. 217 00:14:58.430 --> 00:15:03.140 You're the same old one. And the same old nasty problems are still there. 218 00:15:03.150 --> 00:15:06.720 They didn't go away just because you hid yourself in your brain for a while. 219 00:15:06.850 --> 00:15:10.300 And so they do not resolve permanent problems. 220 00:15:10.670 --> 00:15:16.160 That can only be done by another way. And I believe that Jesus Christ is that way. 221 00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:19.650 How can you be hurt by hypnotism? 222 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.630 The doctors say it's possible for it to alter your mind, 223 00:15:23.640 --> 00:15:27.450 that it will not be the same as before and after. 224 00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:32.590 The doctors say it could weaken your willpower and your resisting power 225 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:37.310 to be your own person, to be your own individual, to be your own self, 226 00:15:37.560 --> 00:15:39.610 strengthen your own personality. 227 00:15:40.580 --> 00:15:45.910 And a very remarkable thing that's just come into the newspapers the last few days 228 00:15:45.920 --> 00:15:46.920 is this. 229 00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:51.390 A hypnotized witness is unacceptable. In courts. 230 00:15:52.020 --> 00:15:55.930 As a character says, witnesses previously hypnotized by police should not be allowed 231 00:15:55.940 --> 00:16:00.210 to testify in court because their memories may have been altered by the people who 232 00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:01.290 hypnotized them. 233 00:16:02.620 --> 00:16:07.510 He says that witnesses hypnotized by police and by other officers will come to 234 00:16:07.520 --> 00:16:12.750 believe the authority's version of events instead of remembering what really 235 00:16:12.760 --> 00:16:16.930 happened. The hypnotist has put something within them that makes them want to agree 236 00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:21.110 with him rather than with reality. Dr. Martin. 237 00:16:21.180 --> 00:16:24.570 Orney, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, said, 238 00:16:24.580 --> 00:16:30.030 if the hypnotist has certain beliefs, he will create memories in the subject's mind. 239 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.950 And hypnosis makes recall less reliable, 240 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:39.110 but provides more information than can be checked out, 241 00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:45.190 he says. And so they are not wanting a person that has been continually hypnotized 242 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.990 to sit in a court as a witness. 243 00:16:49.280 --> 00:16:51.690 Because all the things that are being said there, 244 00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:55.790 their minds are not fully up to it of being a correct kind of a witness. 245 00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:01.930 Now, Sigmund Freud used hypnosis to get his patients to recall early 246 00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:03.890 childhood memories. 247 00:17:04.020 --> 00:17:05.690 But in his later writings, 248 00:17:05.910 --> 00:17:11.660 Sigmund conceded that those recollections could not be checked for 249 00:17:11.670 --> 00:17:14.300 accuracy. He came out and finally told the truth. 250 00:17:14.310 --> 00:17:17.970 The information that he got when it was checked on. 251 00:17:17.980 --> 00:17:19.850 I could not be found to be accurate. 252 00:17:20.340 --> 00:17:26.030 Dr. Ernie of the university in Pennsylvania said he frequently called upon 253 00:17:26.040 --> 00:17:31.010 defense attorneys to knock down the testimony of witnesses who had been hypnotized 254 00:17:31.020 --> 00:17:35.530 by police, that they should not be a witness in order to get a true verdict for the 255 00:17:35.540 --> 00:17:39.610 person that they are to be in the stand for. 256 00:17:40.360 --> 00:17:42.970 Now, hypnosis makes strange claims, 257 00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:48.300 and I don't really want to talk about this one, 258 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:55.230 uh it it is a very strange thing and i i just want to mention it very very 259 00:17:55.240 --> 00:18:00.800 slightly that uh in the in the psychogenic world 260 00:18:00.810 --> 00:18:06.300 that they say that they can change the impotence of a man uh through hypnosis 261 00:18:06.310 --> 00:18:11.770 uh that your mind is the most remarkable part of the human natural human your mind 262 00:18:11.780 --> 00:18:16.870 is a treasure we should keep it protected with fences of truth and power 263 00:18:17.130 --> 00:18:22.810 uh hypnotism can be a a double aid to standard counseling 264 00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:25.770 for psychogenic impotence. 265 00:18:25.780 --> 00:18:30.710 And that was Dr. Harold Kresselnak of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. 266 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:35.210 And he says, and his work shows that the technique can help men to recognize the 267 00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:38.750 emotional roots of their problems and also build their sexual confidence by 268 00:18:38.760 --> 00:18:42.670 demonstrating how much body control they are capable of. 269 00:18:43.120 --> 00:18:47.150 That is only a brief word that was said in this relation. 270 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:51.700 There was a... There was a mass of material on it, which was very disgusting, 271 00:18:51.750 --> 00:18:54.480 that they had taken hypnosis into the world of sex. 272 00:18:54.800 --> 00:18:58.490 But they have taken it also further than that, 273 00:18:58.500 --> 00:19:01.390 and that is hypnosis and exorcism. 274 00:19:01.540 --> 00:19:05.610 Dr. Richard Gluff says that in hypnosis, 275 00:19:05.620 --> 00:19:10.350 he can bring unity to the patient who is torn by multiple personalities. 276 00:19:11.310 --> 00:19:13.720 He says that with hypnotherapy, 277 00:19:13.850 --> 00:19:18.840 the personalities that give an eve, that's any woman, 278 00:19:19.010 --> 00:19:23.260 three faces, or another patient, four names, 279 00:19:23.390 --> 00:19:29.040 can converse with each other, and eventually he can integrate them 280 00:19:29.050 --> 00:19:31.840 back into one personality. 281 00:19:31.850 --> 00:19:34.700 Now, I can assure you that that is a lie, 282 00:19:35.110 --> 00:19:38.220 that he cannot exercise a demon spirit, 283 00:19:38.230 --> 00:19:43.380 and he cannot take a person who has three faces and make one face out of them. 284 00:19:48.230 --> 00:19:54.200 uh four names and bring them down to one name that he that power is not in 285 00:19:54.210 --> 00:19:57.900 hypnosis but this is the length in which it's going it's not a thing that's just 286 00:19:57.910 --> 00:20:02.260 moving slowly you know in the generation that you live the devil hopes to damn the 287 00:20:02.270 --> 00:20:08.130 whole generation but we're up to saying you're not going to do it we're going to win 288 00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:12.050 this generation for jesus we're going to tell them the truth and keep them out of 289 00:20:12.060 --> 00:20:17.090 the clutches of the devil in every way we can what does god say about your mind 290 00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:23.950 He says that the Holy Spirit rule in your conscious and also your subliminal mind, 291 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:25.350 or your subconscious mind. 292 00:20:25.710 --> 00:20:29.200 Isaiah 26 and 3 says, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace. 293 00:20:29.450 --> 00:20:35.260 We can believe for perfect peace. Whose mind, whose mind is stayed on thee. 294 00:20:35.410 --> 00:20:39.880 That there is perfect peace to anyone that will keep his mind on God. 295 00:20:39.890 --> 00:20:42.460 You don't need anybody else playing with it, toying with it, 296 00:20:42.470 --> 00:20:43.820 playing with it in any form. 297 00:20:44.600 --> 00:20:47.590 We don't dwell on negative things, we dwell on good things. 298 00:20:47.850 --> 00:20:51.260 The Word says, Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, 299 00:20:51.450 --> 00:20:54.820 whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, 300 00:20:55.050 --> 00:20:58.480 whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, 301 00:20:58.830 --> 00:21:02.100 whatsoever things are of good report. Brother, that's the way to live. 302 00:21:02.510 --> 00:21:08.490 If there's any virtue, if there be any praise, think, think on these things. 303 00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:13.130 Your mind is supposed to be on those type of, if your mind gets on the negative, 304 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:17.250 if it gets on the dirty, if it gets on the filthy, you're going to have problems. 305 00:21:17.550 --> 00:21:21.660 And if you loan it to somebody else, you can do it in a seance, 306 00:21:21.670 --> 00:21:24.540 in a spiritual seance, and go into some kind of a coma, 307 00:21:24.550 --> 00:21:29.330 or you can do it in many, you can give your mind in many ways. 308 00:21:30.080 --> 00:21:32.890 With the gurus of India, the thing they want is your mind. 309 00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:36.610 They want you to throw yourself into neutral and stop thinking and start saying, um, 310 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.670 until you don't know anything with um. And that's not much. 311 00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:42.890 That is just not much to know. 312 00:21:44.060 --> 00:21:46.990 In Romans 12 and 2, it says, Be not conformed to this world, 313 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.410 but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, 314 00:21:50.420 --> 00:21:56.210 that ye may prove that which is good and acceptable and perfect will of 315 00:21:56.220 --> 00:22:00.110 God. Let this mind be in you, Philippians 2 and 8. 316 00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:03.730 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. 317 00:22:03.760 --> 00:22:07.350 If you have a mind like His mind, you're going to be well. 318 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:12.050 And the renewing of our mind is when He comes in there daily, refreshes us, 319 00:22:12.060 --> 00:22:18.010 blesses us. strengthens us I believe that every day we should cover our minds with 320 00:22:18.020 --> 00:22:23.280 the blood of Jesus and that God's power can purify even our dream world 321 00:22:23.290 --> 00:22:29.220 even our dream world he can purify and and and second 322 00:22:29.230 --> 00:22:34.660 Corinthians 10 and 4 it says the weapons of our warfare are not natural or carnal 323 00:22:34.670 --> 00:22:38.240 they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds casting down 324 00:22:38.250 --> 00:22:42.890 imaginations see that's the area of hypnotism and every high thing that exalted 325 00:22:42.900 --> 00:22:47.010 itself against the knowledge of God, bringing into captivity every thought. 326 00:22:47.320 --> 00:22:49.470 There's your heart of it there, every thought. 327 00:22:50.230 --> 00:22:55.800 Our minds are supposed to be so disciplined that our minds are... 328 00:22:55.810 --> 00:22:59.120 And you can discipline your mind. You don't need a wandering mind. 329 00:22:59.130 --> 00:23:03.100 And you don't need a mind that just lists itself from this side to that side to the 330 00:23:03.110 --> 00:23:05.760 other side. God can give us a strong mind. 331 00:23:05.810 --> 00:23:09.860 And God can help our minds to be strong. If you know it, say amen. 332 00:23:10.670 --> 00:23:15.060 How can we protect our mind? How would you go about protecting your mind? 333 00:23:15.070 --> 00:23:19.420 I jotted down just a few of them here for you to think about. 334 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:26.250 To protect our minds, I would say don't put pornographic literature into your mind. 335 00:23:26.520 --> 00:23:30.970 Don't read filthy mess and muck. 336 00:23:32.520 --> 00:23:35.950 A man found the Lord in the Indianapolis area, 337 00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:41.470 and he burned the next morning 600 filthy 338 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:42.480 novels. 339 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.630 Imagine having that number of them in his house. 340 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.950 He had read every one of them. Now, he wasn't a poor man. 341 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.670 He was a wealthy man and had a good business. 342 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:59.070 But he was so full of lust until he read these pornographic novels for 343 00:23:59.080 --> 00:24:02.770 release and relax and mucking and messing around. 344 00:24:03.620 --> 00:24:05.130 Don't read pornographic literature. 345 00:24:05.280 --> 00:24:09.570 It only remains in your conscience, but stored in your subconscious mind to come out 346 00:24:09.580 --> 00:24:11.010 in dreadful times. 347 00:24:11.590 --> 00:24:14.040 Don't listen to hard rock music. 348 00:24:14.730 --> 00:24:18.330 It can hurt you. Many people have been hurt by it. 349 00:24:18.580 --> 00:24:21.070 It will bring a jungle spirit into your inner being. 350 00:24:21.340 --> 00:24:24.210 It came from the pagans of Africa in its beginnings. 351 00:24:24.260 --> 00:24:30.030 And if you indulge in hard rock, all of its wildness will make a nest in your 352 00:24:30.040 --> 00:24:31.530 subconscious being. 353 00:24:32.010 --> 00:24:37.900 And so your mind should be clear of that offbeat thing that came out of 354 00:24:37.910 --> 00:24:43.140 the pagan who's worshiping the devil. and we shouldn't be part of it. 355 00:24:43.150 --> 00:24:48.600 Don't take dope. Drugs of all kinds open the door to your subconscious mind. 356 00:24:48.650 --> 00:24:52.600 It creates unreality which filters through into the conscious mind. 357 00:24:52.610 --> 00:24:55.720 And so if you do it, you'll destroy your mind. 358 00:24:55.970 --> 00:25:00.340 Don't drink alcohol because alcohol can cause you to become drunk, 359 00:25:00.450 --> 00:25:05.180 render you senseless in your mind, and opens the door into your subconscious mind 360 00:25:05.190 --> 00:25:09.360 and filling it with any kind and all kinds of deceptions. 361 00:25:09.660 --> 00:25:10.990 that come from the devil. 362 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.570 So if you want a good mind and a right mind, 363 00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:18.370 there are several things you can do to protect your mind. 364 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.170 Don't watch far out programs on television. 365 00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.410 They are loaded with them. And just don't watch them. 366 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:31.190 I mean, all those things of killing each other with rays of light and those monster 367 00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:33.790 men and monster women and so forth. 368 00:25:33.860 --> 00:25:37.190 If you're going to fill your mind with that, it's going to come out in other ways. 369 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:40.210 It won't stay there. It'll come out in other ways. 370 00:25:40.600 --> 00:25:45.430 And you should not watch, for sure, X -rated programming that'll fill you with lust. 371 00:25:46.660 --> 00:25:49.850 I want to tell you, and just listen carefully to it, 372 00:25:49.860 --> 00:25:55.750 I am fully convinced that you can watch a very dirty movie or TV show and become 373 00:25:55.760 --> 00:26:00.530 possessed with lust. An uncontrollable lust that'll make you something that you've 374 00:26:00.540 --> 00:26:04.750 never been before. Guiding your life and making you do things that you wouldn't do 375 00:26:04.760 --> 00:26:06.650 before. And that you picked it up. 376 00:26:06.790 --> 00:26:09.640 From a real, they were not even in the room with you. 377 00:26:09.670 --> 00:26:13.680 You don't feed yourself on that kind of stuff in Jesus' name. 378 00:26:13.930 --> 00:26:19.740 I'd say don't go to adult movie houses in order there to be involved in sensual 379 00:26:19.750 --> 00:26:23.900 and moral and dirty things that they have to feed you on there. 380 00:26:24.130 --> 00:26:29.710 I'd say don't permit anyone ever for any reason to 381 00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:34.930 hypnotize you and take your mind. Don't trust your mind to any person. 382 00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:37.990 on the face of this earth. I don't care who he is. 383 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:42.770 Protect your mind from all sorts of ESP, 384 00:26:43.800 --> 00:26:44.830 sciences, 385 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:51.280 oriental meditations, hypnotism. Let God control your mind. 386 00:26:51.520 --> 00:26:56.540 And if you don't, the devil will control your mind.
